Curious where tofu would be at on this chart.

Pricing and product availability is regional and variable, but some napkin math using my local Walmarts pricing puts it at:

  • 5.33g protein per 100g food
  • $3.04 for 30g protein

That puts it in the green veggie cluster if I'm not getting the axes confused.

the problem is there are a ton of varieties of tofu, and they're all generally around the same price. it seems the silken tofu have around 5g of protein, but some of the extra firm varieties have over 15g protein per 100 tofu, putting it in a much more respectable spot in the bottom middle with the grains and such
